Blancmange was formed in Harrow, Middlesex in 1979 by vocalist Neil Arthur (born 15 June 1958, Darwen, Lancashire) and instrumentalist Stephen Luscombe (born 29 October 1954, Hillingdon, Middlesex). The duo released their first EP "Irene and Mavis" the following year, but had their first real exposure via a track on the seminal Some Bizzare Album, alongside fellow acts Soft Cell and Depeche Mode. This led to them signing a recording contract with London Records.
The duo found minor success with their 1982 double A-sided single, "God's Kitchen"/"I've Seen The Word" which peaked at no.65 in the UK. This was followed by "Feel Me" which peaked at no.46. Later that year, they broke through with "Living on the Ceiling", which reached no.7 in the UK Singles Chart. Their debut album, Happy Families (which featured a sleeve painting in the style of Louis Wain) also reached the top 30.
Further hits followed with "Waves" (no.19), "Blind Vision" (no.10), "That's Love That It Is" (no.33) and "Don't Tell Me" (no.8), while their second album Mange Tout also reached no.8 in the UK album chart. In 1984, Blancmange covered ABBA's single "The Day Before You Came", which reached no.22 in the UK (slightly higher than Abba's original less than two years earlier). But after this, the band's fortunes declined. Their 1985 single "What's Your Problem" only reached no.40, and the subsequent album Believe You Me spent only two weeks in the UK Albums Chart, peaking at no.54. Blancmange formally split up in 1987.

LONDON (Reuters) - The euro hit a two-month low against the dollar and a near four-week low versus the yen on Thursday, as worries about the euro zone's growth prospects weighed on the currency before an ECB policy decision.
A media report which said that Spain is edging away from asking for aid this year drove speculators, already positioned for further weakness, to sell the single currency aggressively. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said conditions over a potential bailout were still being studied.
The euro slid to a two-month low of $1.27225 against the dollar with traders citing stop-loss sell orders below $1.2720 which could prove magnetic. It was last trading at $1.2740, down 0.4 percent on the day.
The euro also hit a near four-week trough against the yen, dropping to 101.64 yen. The euro's losses saw the dollar index .DXY rise to a two-month high of 81.001.
While the European Central Bank is expected to keep interest rates on hold, some analysts say grim euro zone data, including those from Germany, might prompt it to ease policy before the end of the year.
Comments from ECB President Mario Draghi, who said on Wednesday the bank expected the euro zone economy to remain weak "in the near term," added to investor nervousness. Draghi is due to speak later on Thursday and some investors expect him to lean towards a rate cut.
"The general theme here is that weak growth is weighing on the euro. It will be interesting to see what Draghi says today," said Steven Saywell, global head of FX strategy at BNP Paribas.
"Generally speaking we like the euro lower, especially against the crosses."
The European Commission said on Wednesday the euro zone economy will barely grow next year, forecasting slower growth than governments in the bloc's biggest economies expect.
German exports also slid at their fastest pace since late last year, figures showed on Thursday, adding to evidence that the crisis has begun to inflict a heavy toll on the currency bloc's largest economy.
"There are fewer and fewer ways of expressing a negative view against the euro zone other than going short the euro and that is what we are seeing," said Peter Kinsella, currency strategist at Commerzbank.
"Weak data recently has certainly increased the likelihood of a rate cut later this year. With the downgrade by the EC, it will probably be tough to implement austerity measures in the euro zone."
Investors were slightly encouraged by a Spanish bond auction which indicated reasonably healthy demand, although any rebounds in the euro is seen as a good opportunity to sell.
Spain sold 4.76 billion euros of debt on Thursday, including a new five-year bond and its first longer-term issuance since May 2011. The successful sale followed news that the Greek parliament approved, as expected, austerity measures needed to unlock aid and avert bankruptcy.
Sterling hovered close to a one-month high against a broadly weaker euro and could gain if the Bank of England voted against more monetary stimulus. The decision is expected at 1200 GMT.
The euro fell 0.2 percent to a low of 79.73 pence, just shy of a five-week low of 79.71 pence hit on Wednesday. Sterling was down 0.3 percent against the dollar at $1.5940.
The dollar extended the previous session's gains, as focus quickly shifted from President Barack Obama's re-election to the "fiscal cliff" that threatens to push the U.S. economy into a renewed recession next year.
About $600 billion in government spending cuts and higher taxes will kick in early next year, unless U.S. lawmakers take steps to reduce the deficit.
The dollar has been helped by safe-haven inflows due to uncertainty stemming from the fiscal cliff and those positions could be unwound if a resolution is reached.
"It looks like Obama is likely to legislate away much of the fiscal cliff and I think dollar is likely to weaken," BNP's Saywell said.
The dollar slipped 0.2 percent to 79.85 yen, staying below a six-month high of 80.68 yen set last week.

The Power of Resilience When tragedy strikes with the death of a loved one, a serious illness or a job loss, some people fall apart, while others adapt to such life-changing events more easily. Being resilient is what makes the difference. Resilience is used to describe people who lead normal, fulfilling lives despite having experienced trauma or tragedy. They are resilient because they have the ability to recover from adversity and retain a positive self-image and view of the world. Facing challenges on the foundation that there is more right than wrong with the world give an individual the confidence to know that they can get through whatever problem exists. Building resilience Resilience isn't a trait people either have or don't have—it involves behaviors, thoughts, and actions that can be learned and developed. Here are some strategies for building resilience: Nurture a positive view of yourself. Develop confidence in your ability to solve problems and trust your instincts. Avoid seeing crises as insurmountable problems. While it is important to prioritize the immediate situation in a crisis, remember that in the bigger picture this is a time-limited event. Accept that change is a part of living. Certain goals may no longer be attainable as a result of adverse situations. Accepting circumstances that can't be changed can help you focus on circumstances you can affect. Look for opportunities for self-discovery. Many people who have experienced tragedies and hardship report better relationships, a greater sense of strength, an increased sense of self-worth, and a greater appreciation for life. Make connections. Good relationships with family, friends or others are important. Accept help and support from those who care about you. Maintain a hopeful outlook. An optimistic outlook enables you to expect good things to happen in your life. Take care of yourself. Pay attention to your own needs and feelings. Engage in activities you enjoy and find relaxing. Exercise regularly, get enough sleep, eat a healthful diet, and limit alcohol consumption. Consider writing down your thoughts about stressful events in your life. Try meditation and other spiritual practices. Many people find these activities help them build connections with others and restore lost hope. Write out a list of the challenges and then list both your strengths to deal with them and the available resources to help you. Getting help Getting help when you need it is crucial in building resilience. Resources include: Friends and family members Spiritual advisors Mental health care providers

My middle name is Aileen, pron. Eye-leen. I think it goes great with my first and last names and it's fun because when people see my middle initial is A, they usually assume it's something like Anne or Alice or Alexa. No one ever suspects it's Aileen, so it's a fun surprise
The only issue I have is when I tell people my middle name is Aileen-with-an-A, they tend to spell it Eilean or something similar. Or pronounce it Ay-leen instead of Eye-leen but since I don't use it that often, it doesn't come up much and I still like it!baby #1 arriving october 2015

Legends and young bucks converge each year on this hulking concrete behemoth. Congrats to Vans on 10 years of Combi and big ups to Tristan Rennie for coming out on top. This kid went ape...
The Combi got heated up this weekend at the Vans 10th Annual pool party, Congratulations to 1st Place winners Chris Miller Legends, Bruno Passos Masters and Tristan Rennie Pro.
Are you still going to be skating into your 40s? Hopefully you'll still have the fire like these legends. Here's Hosoi, Cab, Grosso, Miller, McGill, and others.
A full on Bones Brigade reunion set off the Masters division and Steve Caballero didn't care whether it was the Birdman's birthday or not as he ripped his way to another first place finish.
30 years of Thrasher means 30 years of Miller. CPH practice begins today and the bowl finals tonight.
Caballero defended last year's win vs. Mountain, Peters, Hawk, and others, but in the end it was Chris Miller who walked away with his sixth Pool Party title.
Orange County kinda sucks, but the new combi is killer. Check the Thrasher edit of the total bro-down. And that's time. Thanks to Vans for a great weekend!

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is a democratic socialist organization in the United States and a member of Socialist International, an international federation of social-democratic, democratic socialist and labor political parties and organizations.
DSA was formed in 1982 by a merger of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and the New American Movement (NAM). Under the leadership of Michael Harrington, DSOC had become America's largest democratic socialist organization, despite having started, in Harrington's words, as "the remnant of a remnant" — with Harrington having been the leader of a minority caucus of the Socialist Party of America in 1972 when it changed its name to Social Democrats, USA.[1] NAM was a coalition of writers and intellectuals with roots in both the New Left movements of the 1960s and the former members of socialist and communist parties of the Old Left.
Initially the DSA consisted of approximately 5,000 ex-DSOC members and 1,000 ex-NAM members. Upon the DSA's founding, Michael Harrington and socialist-feminist author Barbara Ehrenreich were elected as co-chairs of the organization.
According to DSA national director Maria Svart, the group has its roots in the Socialist Party of Eugene Debs and Norman Thomas.[2] The organization does not run its own candidates in elections but instead "fights for reforms... that will weaken the power of corporations and increase the power of working people." These include decreasing the influence of money in politics, empowering ordinary people in workplaces and the economy, and increasing gender and cultural equality.[3] They also support free higher education.[4]
Organizational history[edit]
The DSA was formed in 1982 after a merger between the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and the New American Movement (NAM).[5][6] At the time of the merger of these two organizations, the DSA was said to consist of approximately 5,000 former members of DSOC, along with 1,000 from NAM.[7]
At its start, DSOC had 840 members, of which 2 percent served on its national board; approximately 200 had previously had membership in Social Democrats, USA or its predecessors in 1973 when SDUSA stated its membership at 1,800, according to a 1973 profile of Harrington.[8]
In electoral politics, DSA, like DSOC before it, was very strongly associated with Michael Harrington's position that "the left wing of realism is found today in the Democratic Party." In its early years DSA opposed Republican presidential candidates by giving critical support to Democratic Party nominees like Walter Mondale in 1984.[9] In 1988, DSA enthusiastically supported Jesse Jackson's second presidential campaign.[10] DSA's position on US electoral politics states that "democratic socialists reject an either–or approach to electoral coalition building, focused solely on [either] a new party or on realignment within the Democratic Party."[11]
During the 1990s, DSA gave the Clinton administration an overall rating of C-, "less than satisfactory."[12]
The DSA's leadership believes working within the Democratic Party is necessary because of the nature of the American political system, which rarely gives third parties a chance politically. That said, DSA is very critical of the corporate-funded Democratic Party leadership.[13] The organization believes that:
"Much of progressive, independent political action will continue to occur in Democratic Party primaries in support of candidates who represent a broad progressive coalition. In such instances, democratic socialists will support coalitional campaigns based on labor, women, people of color and other potentially anti-corporate elements... Electoral tactics are only a means for democratic socialists; the building of a powerful anti-corporate coalition is the end..."[14]
Electoral positions[edit]
In 2000, DSA took no official position on the presidential election, with several prominent DSA members backing Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader.
In 2004, the organization backed John Kerry after he won the Democratic nomination. In its official magazine the DSA's Political Action Committee declared:
"While we have no illusions about how a Kerry administration would govern — absent mass pressure from below — and are not impressed with his delayed criticism of the war and his earlier commitments in favor of 'free trade,' we also realize that the Bush administration is as reactionary as Reagan's. A Kerry defeat would be taken not as a defeat of the US political center, which Kerry represents, but of the mainstream Left. As a result, it would embolden the Right and demoralize the Left (as well as trade unionists and people of color) as much as Reagan's 1984 defeat of Mondale did. On the other hand, a Kerry victory will let us press onward, with progressives aggressively pressuring an administration that owed its victory to democratic mobilization from below."[15]
The only resolution on upcoming elections at the DSA's 2005 convention focused on Bernie Sanders's independent campaign for the U.S. Senate.[16] The organization's 2007 convention in Atlanta featured record-breaking attendance and more participation by the organization's youth wing. Sanders gave the keynote address.[17]
In 2008, the DSA supported Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in his race against Republican candidate John McCain. Following Obama's election, many on the right[18] began to allege that his administration's policies were "socialistic," a claim rejected by DSA and the Obama administration alike. The widespread use of the word "socialism" as a political epithet against the Obama government by its opponents caused National Director Frank Llewellyn to declare that "over the past 12 months, the Democratic Socialists of America has received more media attention than it has over the past 12 years."[19]
Membership size[edit]
Membership in DSA is obtained through the payment of annual dues, which in 2010 range from a "low income and student" rate of $20 to a "sustainer" rate of $130, with a basic rate of $45.[20] Every member receives a paid subscription to the organization's quarterly newsletter, Democratic Left (commonly known as DL).[21] The organization also offers "family memberships" at the rate of $80, which include only one subscription to DL,[20] and sells subscriptions to the publication to non-members for $10 per year.[22]
When formed, the estimated membership was 5,000, after the merger with the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC),[23] the membership had grown to an estimate 7,000 in 1987.[24] In 2002, Fox News claimed there were 8,000 members in the organization,[25] and three years later the DSA announced on its website that its membership had increased by some 13% since July 2003 as the result of a recent direct mail campaign.[26]
DSA does not release annual membership numbers, nor do officials of the organization state them with precision in the press. It does, however, publish annually its sworn declaration of "Statement of Ownership, Management, and Circulation" in its official magazine so as to qualify for subsidized postage rates from the United States Postal Service. In the 12 months previous to its 2009 declaration, the group indicates that Democratic Left had an average "Total Paid Distribution" of 5707 copies.
The "Total Paid Distribution" numbers of Democratic Left over recent years are as follows:
Year Average Total Paid Circulation Issue Where Statement Appears 2001 5,846 vol. 29, no. 3, pg. 15 2002 not published 2003 4,890 vol. 31, no. 3, pg. 2 2004 4,535 vol. 32, no. 3, pg. 2 2005 4,622 vol. 33, no. 3, pg. 15 2006 4,883 vol. 34, no. 3, pg. 3 2007 5,443 vol. 35, no. 3, pg. 3 2008 5,710 vol. 36, no. 3, pg. 3 2009 5,707 vol. 37, no. 3, pg. 3
DSA is organized at the local level, and works with labor unions, community organizations, and campus activists on issues of common interest. Nationwide campaigns are coordinated by the organization's national office in New York City. As of 2006[update], the DSA website lists 24 chartered locals.
Governance of the DSA is by the group's National Political Committee, which, since 2001, has been a 16-person body.[27] The organization's constitution states that at least eight of the NPC's members shall be women and at least four members of "racial or national" minority groups.[28] A seventeenth vote is cast by the representative of the DSA's youth affiliate, the Young Democratic Socialists, who elect one male and one female delegate who split the vote. The NPC meets four times a year.[29]
The NPC elects an inner committee of six, including five of its own members and one representative of the youth section, called the "Steering Committee." At least two of these are constitutionally required to be women and at least one a "person of color," with the National Director and the Youth Section Organizer also participating as ex-officio members. This Steering Committee meets bimonthly, either in person or by conference call.[30] The DSA has a Religion and Socialism Commission, in which Cornel West has played a leading role. John Cort was a founding editor of the Commission's magazine, Religious Socialism.
DSA publishes Democratic Left, a quarterly newsletter of news and analysis. This publication continues in an uninterrupted run from the original Newsletter of the Democratic Left published by DSA forerunner the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee since its establishment in 1973. In 2008, DSA members active in the U.S. labor movement founded Talking Union, a blog that focuses on labor politics, working class struggles and strategies.[31]
Student Section[edit]
Young Democratic Socialists (YDS) is the official student section of Democratic Socialists of America. YDS chapters and members are encouraged to pursue and promote a democratic socialist political education and participate in social justice activism, often taking part in anti-war, labor and student-issue marches and rallies. YDS publishes a newsletter called The Red Letter,[32] and a blog, The Activist.[33] The organization's national activities revolve around supporting DSA campaigns and initiatives, and organizing various national student conferences, usually held in New York City.
National Conventions[edit]
The highest decision-making authority of the organization is the organization's national conventions, which are held biannually. These gatherings of the organization are as follows:
Year Dates of Convention Location 2015 TBD Pittsburgh, PA 2013 October 25–27 Emeryville, CA 2011 November 11–13 Vienna, VA 2009 November 13–15 Evanston, IL 2007 November 9–11 Atlanta, GA 2005 November 11–13 Los Angeles, CA 2003 November 14–16 Detroit, MI 2001 November 9–11 Philadelphia, PA 1999 November 12–14 San Diego, CA
A student and young adult outreach conference hosted by Young Democratic Socialists took place on February 13-15, 2015, in Manhattan.[34] They are hosting an upcoming leadership retreat in early August 2015. [35]
The DSA's ideas are greatly influenced by those of writer Michael Harrington, Chairman of the League for Industrial Democracy (1964) and member of the National Executive Board of the Socialist Party of America (1960–68). Opposed to capitalism and communism alike as cruel and anti-libertarian social systems, Harrington advocated working for a realignment of the U.S. Democratic Party away from an amorphous amalgam of often contradictory ideas and toward a principled party of the left.
Throughout his life, Harrington embraced the thinking of Karl Marx while rejecting the "actually existing" Communist systems of the Soviet Union, China, and Eastern Europe. Harrington said:[6]
"Put it this way. Marx was a democrat with a small D. The Democratic Socialists envision a humane social order based on popular control of resources and production, economic planning...and racial equality. I share an immediate program with liberals in this country because the best liberalism leads toward socialism.... I want to be on the left wing of the possible."
Harrington made it clear that, even if the traditional Marxist vision of a marketless, stateless society was not possible, he did not understand why this needed to "result in the social consequence of some people eating while others starve."[36]
Before the collapse of the USSR, the DSA voiced opposition to that nation's bureaucratically managed economy and control over its satellite states.[37] The DSA welcomed Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms in the Soviet Union. Sociologist Bogdan Denitch wrote in DSA's Democratic Left:[38]
"The aim of democrats and socialists should be...to help the chances of successful reform in the Soviet bloc... While supporting liberalization and economic reforms from above, socialists should be particularly active in contacting and encouraging the tender shoots of democracy from below".
Today, the organization issues few statements about overriding principles while frequently commenting on matters of public policy. One primary leaflet detailing the group's official ideas, "What is Democratic Socialism? Questions and Answers from the Democratic Socialists of America," states that while "no country has fully instituted democratic socialism," nonetheless there are lessons to be learned from "the comprehensive welfare state maintained by the Swedes, from Canada's national health care system, France's nationwide childcare program, and Nicaragua's literacy programs".[39] The "tremendous prosperity and relative economic equality" established by the Social Democratic Parties of the countries of Scandinavia and Western Europe are lauded.[39]

Ogg, MPEG-LA and Submarine Patents
- 3-4-2010
- Categorized in: Choosing a codec
A few weeks ago, I published an interview with MPEG LA CEO Larry Horn on the patent group's decision not to charge for free content encoded with H.264.
Then I got a note back from a reader who stated:
I'm disappointed. The interview seemed to be pretty powder puff. Why not ask the harder questions, e.g., was your decision in response to Wikipedia's (and potentially Firefox's) decision to support an open source format (Ogg Theora)? Your interview should take the real issues head on.
I checked to make sure the letter wasn't from my high school journalism teacher (it wasn't) and then reflected. At the time, I wasn't hip to the whole Ogg vs. H.264 debate within the parameters of HTML 5, and simply didn't think to ask. But then I read up on the debate, learning that Apple in particular, who is on the MPEG LA committee, has repeatedly stated that they won't adopt Ogg because of the risk of submarine patents. See, for example, Ryan Paul's excellent article in Ars Technica on the subject.
So I created a new set of questions and sent them to MPEG LA. This led to another round of questions, which I then sent to Xiph.org, which oversees the Theora format. I then got a very interesting response from Xiph founder Monty Montgomery.
You can read them both at StreamingMedia.com.

Who has to carry:
Automatic Identification Systems (AIS)
1. In general big ships. In Singapore everyone by law - something that is likely to become more prevalent in very crowded maritime areas. One of the exemptions - fishing boats - sometimes a problem when making coastwise passages. Fishing boats tend to be brightly lit so they are pretty easy to see unless the weather is bad. I think that you will see the rest of the major maritime world moving toward the Singapore rule - you must have a transmit type AIS to cruise in their waters. This will be led by the harbors that already require all ships to report in when entering and leaving port (VTS Systems - see here:
Vessel traffic service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2. Sailboats are hard to see on most radars - including both commercial and recreational radars. If you call another vessel on the VHF they can usually figure out where you are but are not likely to see you on the radar before you call. The bridge watches are not staring at the radar and the alarms typically will not be set to go off for a return that small. Radar reflectors help a little, but not all that much. One thing that surprised me: back in the days of paper charts if you gave a ship your lat and long they could pretty much pinpoint your location in a couple of seconds. Now with the glass bridges it seems to take a lot longer. I am not sure exactly why this is true.
3. What kind of collision is most likely? The one where you are not in the cockpit looking around to see who can hit you. Even with an AIS transmitter you are not complexly safe from large ships. I have been run down twice, once by a cargo ship, once by a Carnival Cruise Liner. In both cases my AIS was blipping away. CCL Captains have a very bad reputation in the shipping world. They seem to think that the rules of the road are they go where they want and everyone else gets out of the way.
(actually I have been run down three times - in the pre-AIS days I was hit by a "laker" off Alpina in bad rain and fog. Did a mess to the bow of the boat but we stayed afloat and made it into a safe harbor.)
Fog banks can be deadly. I was approaching the Blue Water bridge at the foot of Lake Huron. There was a big fog bank under the bridge. The rest of Lake Huron was clear as a bell. My radar painted a huge target - I thought the bridge of course. All of a sudden a huge laker (they look even bigger from 100 feet looking up at the bow coming right at you!) came out of the fog bank heading directly at me. Five shorts on my pathetic little horn, right emergency rudder, all ahead flank, I got out of the way (barely.) They never saw me until I was abaft the wheelhouse tooting my little horn. Then they hit their fog horn. Darn near blew me out of the water! (I guess this counts for run down #4) They never slowed or turned. Would not have mattered anyway unless they needed to pick up the pieces. They just can't maneuver that quickly. (This was, btw, in my pre-AIS days.) Another minute and I was out of the fog in the St. Clair river.
Slightly off topic but your deck navigation lights on a typical sailboat are not worth much either. Offshore your lights tend to be obscured by wave action. The exception is a tricolor. Most commercial ships are illuminated at night. They are pretty easy to see. The exception is ships carrying explosive material such as oil. They usually have a minimum of lights visible - just the required navigation lights. I always wondered how the bridge watch on a brightly lit ship could see at night. We could track ships visually 10 NM away. We would chat with the bridge crew and they would know where we were (we have transmit AIS) but could not see us visually unless they got less than 1 NM away. That is why I now have a tricolor 60 feet up on top of the mast. In general on the open ocean 1 NM was the courtesy separation - large ships would alter course to give us a CPA of 1 NM or more. An aside: When I first started cruising I was confused by the side lights on big ships. In the recreational world the "bow lights" are the red and green lights located near the bow. But the COLREGS require side lights, not "bow lights." Most commercial ships have the side lights on the house in the stern. I was looking at a colored light thinking I was looking at the bow when in fact I was looking at the stern. Everyone seemed to be steaming in reverse...
Should you cruise in US waters (elsewhere in the world too, my experience is off Norfolk) in places like VACAPES you will discover that United States Navy ships don't transmit on AIS. And they don't show up on radar. And they don't have a lot of lights on. In fact you will swear they are not there until your radio crackles and they talk to you!! Even then you will swear they are not there. And they only talk to you if they want you to do something. Otherwise they just ghost by. A good thing from a combat standpoint, a little scary when sailing. The military operating areas are marked on the charts but they do have to get to them and get back home.
Good info. However, Singapore waters are really small. We sail just outside the Singapore Harbor limits and most often test the line, Patrol boats every kilometer or so, keep all transgressors out. AIS not required for us to Enter either. The Mallaca strait and Singapore Straitts s have a VTS-Vessel Traffic sepration zone, so all the big boys keep to the lanes...however, out of Port Klang (Malaysia water) Tugs with tows and no lights seem to operate with impunity and without AIS. Most of the trawlers, squid boats and other fishing boats/craft don't use it either. This we found to be the case in Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo and the Philippines. So, a lot of work here to do in getting AIS adopted by the Maritime/fishing industry. Proper watch ON Deck still the best way to stay out of trouble. Sharpen up those MKII eyeballs....

If the socket is full, we're better off just waiting until it empties, or until the connection is broken. The reason why we generally don't want to time out is that the call to xprt->ops->release_xprt() will trigger a connection reset, which isn't helpful...

Three sneak preview clips for the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Disarm," have just been released, and it looks like plenty of drama awaits us January 6.
We begin with Callie and the just-returned Arizona, whose turbulent relationship has sparked a number of rumors regarding what we can expect early next year.
At least right away, it doesn't look like reconciliation will be a breeze ...
Please, go back to Malawi? That was harsh. Think she'll come around?
Follow the jump for two more clips from "Disarm," in which Teddy seems very serious about moving forward with her radical plan to save the terminal Henry.
Also, we learn about the catastrophe that will test the doctors' resolve:

COLUMBIA — All eight people sat quietly. Some sat nervously. A boy sitting alone on the last wooden bench in the Columbia Municipal Courtroom held his head in his hands and pinched his sinuses.
"All rise."
Judge Robert Aulgur, wearing his black robe, entered to a somber, standing audience then took a seat in the black leather chair behind a towering wooden bench at the front of the room on Thursday.
For 17 minutes, without pause, he explained how the court would proceed. His tone and his gestures were like those of a stewardess telling the umpteenth group of passengers where to find the emergency exits on the aircraft.
He could fine them between $1 and $1,000. He could sentence them to the Boone County Jail for any amount of time between one day and one year. Should they owe the court money when they left, he would accept cash, check or credit card (except for American Express or Discover). Gradually the eight bodies became 12, the 12 became 16. The judge started to work through their cases.
The first person called was fined and thanked for her time. The second got to leave without charge. The third had been to the court 23 times in the past three years; when Aulgur asked him why, the judge referred to the place as "my" courtroom.
These were just a handful of the roughly 17,000 cases that will move through Municipal Court this year; the caseload is divided among Aulgur and two associate judges. When Aulgur started the job in 2003, the caseload was closer to 12,000. In order to combat this rising workload, the Columbia City Council approved a resolution at its last meeting to make Aulgur a full-time employee for the first time since his initial appointment.
"This job has definitely become a full-time position. It has been for some time," Aulgur said in an interview earlier this week. He explained that even though he was only being paid as a 0.9 full-time-equivalent employee, he had — and still has — to be accessible "essentially 24/7."
Part of this workload increase came years ago. In July 2004, changes in bond-setting procedure required that the municipal judge personally determine the bonds in every case. The Missouri Supreme Court rule was meant to create "more uniformity between the courts," court clerk Shara Meyer said.
Aulgur recalls the disparity in the way rural communities dealt with marijuana cases when he was an attorney and how the city deals with them now. The differences in bond-setting could mean thousands of dollars and jail time for one person and a small fine and release for an identical offender, he said.
Although it makes more work for him, Aulgur believes the bonding change was a good one.
"We should not delegate to police officers or other non-judicial personnel" in setting bonds, he said. Although he's happy to do it, he conceded it can be a hassle. He recalled times when he had to set bonds at 3 a.m. or in the middle of a family vacation in Florida.
Aulgur also cited a "population upsurge" as a contributing factor in the rising caseload. Growth in the city leads to an increase in the number of police officers, which inevitably means more Municipal Court cases, he said. The population of Columbia has increased almost 20 percent since 2000.
Meyer said the caseload fluctuates, citing the larger amount of assault cases that occurred in the sweltering heat of early summer.
"But we always tend to fluctuate up," Aulgur said with a smile.
"We believe the caseload will continue to grow," he added. He thinks that once the city installs cameras to catch people running red lights at some of its busiest intersections, the caseload will spike even higher.
Aulgur's new salary will be $82,528. His is one of the few salaries over which the mayor and City Council have complete discretion. Unlike most government employees, there is no set minimum or maximum for his pay. His initial salary in 2003 was $60,001.
Back in the courtroom Thursday, Aulgur finished dealing with the 23-time offender, then interrogated a first-time shoplifter, asking her what was going through her head when she stole clothes from Wal-Mart.
She blamed it on her sister. He gave her a suspended sentence, told her to do some community service, then moved to the next case.

24.2.2008: One of Denmarks most promising prospects, super featherweight Kim Poulsen (7-1), have been added to the April 4th card in Aarhus, Denmark, where former IBF world title-challenger Allan Vester and super middleweight Fawaz Nasir headline at the NRGI Arena. Team Vester, in cooperation with Risum Boxing, promotes.. Poulsen, Denmarks youngest professional boxer at 21, is coming off a dominant unanimous decision over tough journeyman Lubos Priehradnik on February 9th, in what was his Danish television debut. He is managed by Risum Boxing, and manager Henrik Risum is proud to be able to showcase the up-and-coming stylist on the card, saying: Allan and Fawaz are the local stars on this show, but Kim is from nearby Horsens, and I am sure quite a few people from there will drive to Aarhus to watch him take another step upwards in his career. We are aiming to make a really interesting match-up for Kim, and I am confident he will impress again like he did on February 9th, where his progress caught a lot of eyes. The Team Vester promotion will also feature amateur-boxing and Kickboxing, and introduce a whole new concept in Denmark where some of the countries leading rap-artists perform before, between and after the fights. Additional fighters for the show will be announced soon.

It's cool that Rumplestiltskin can spin straw into gold and all, but is it really a quality you want in someone to whom you'd offer your first-born child? Sure, he has income, but don't count on visitation rights when the guy won't even tell you his name. That miller's daughter really needed some relationship counseling. Don't expect her to get any when the Dallas Puppet Theater performs Rumplestiltskin during Irving Arts Center's KidsArts series. The play will be performed at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in the Dupree Theater for $4 per ticket, and a rod puppet-making workshop will be offered at 10:45 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. for $9 (which includes all materials and a ticket to one of those shows, too). Then kids can rework the classic fairy tale. You know, maybe incorporate some Dr. Phil. Irving Arts Center, 3333 N. MacArthur Blvd. Call 972-252-ARTS.

Why Isn't Anyone Talking About Writing Off 3 Trillion Euros of Bad Debt?
by Charles Hugh Smith from Of Two Minds
The only solution to bad debt is to write it off–renounce it all. Why aren't those who took the risks for their own private gain being forced to absorb the losses?
We all know some 3 trillion euros of debt in Europe is uncollectible. So why isn't anyone talking about the one and only solution, which is writing off all that debt?
Since nobody knows how much bad debt there actually is in the Eurozone–care to guess on the market value of all those underwater mortgages in Spain or the true size of Italy's debts?–that 3 trillion is just a guess, but it's probably a reasonable starting point.
Let's start with the most basic fact about all this uncollectible, impaired, bad debt:
Every euro of debt is somebody else's asset.
Wipe out the debt and you wipe out the asset.
That's why there's no willingness to accept the writedown of debt: somebody somewhere has to suck up 3 trillion euros of loss.
Can we please dispense with the fantasy "solutions"?
There is no way Europe is going to "grow its way out of this debt." How much of the eurozone's "growth" was the result of rampant malinvestment and risky borrowing? More than anyone dares admit. It won't take austerity to crash the euroland economy, all it will take is turning off the debt spigot.
"Restructuring" is a code word for writeoffs. Here, let me "restructure" the euro bond you bought at a 4% coupon yield. Now you're going to get 2%, and you're going to like it. Bang, your bond just lost half its market value, but everyone gets to keep it on the books at full value. Nice, until you have to sell it to raise cash. Oops, the euro has slipped in value so you lost more than 50%.
Printing euros to buy the bad debt is just a shuck-and-jive game of transferring the losses to unsuspecting holders of euros or taxpayers.
Allow me to reprint a quote from yesterday's entry, The World Is Drowning in Debt, and Europe Laces On Concrete Boots: as Nobel prize winning economist Thomas Sargent noted: "There's a fundamental truth that everyone has to understand: what the government spends, the public will pay for sooner or later, whether in taxes or inflation or having their debt defaulted on." (Source: BusinessWeek 11/20/11).
In other words, if the European Central Bank prints 3 trillion euros to bail out the banks and bondholders, holders of euros will suck up 3 trillion in lost purchasing power, or split the loss with taxpayers who have to pony up cash to give the ECB a threadbare sheen of solvency.
There is no free lunch. And since there's no free lunch, then we have to ask: who should suck the losses when 3 trillion euros vanish in a massive renunciation/writeoff? Answer: those who took the risk. I know this is a shatteringly obvious conclusion, but it reveals the central flaw in the global financial system: risk has been disconnected from return.
Those who made the risky bets have diverted the risk to others: taxpayers or the general public who holds currency. The gains from the bets are private, and theirs to keep, but all the losses are distributed to the public via government bailouts or money-printing. The first shifts the losses to the taxpayer, and the second shifts the losses to everyone holding the currency being devalued.
Not only has the risk been palmed off onto unsuspecting chumps, the returns have been concentrated into the few hands that control the big bets.
This is the ideal setup for the stupendous gains and zero risk that characterize crony-capitalism: make the big bets with leverage and borrowed money, and skim the vast profits. Then when the bets sour, demand a bailout from the Central State, the ECB, the Fed, etc., which promptly socializes the losses and distributes them over the entire populace of taxpayers or holders of currency.
It works beautifully until the debt-serfs rebel. The EU's politicos are begging to start the printing presses, as that is the only way they can retain their power in the face of the debt-serfs' revolt. But at least one populace of tax-serfs (Germany) is rebelling against sucking all the losses via a massive reduction of purchasing power.
The apologists for bailouts always whine about poor Jacques Q. Publique, whose pension fund will take a hit if those 3 trillion illusory euros go poof. Here's reality: everyone with capital or responsibility in the wager has to accept their fair share of the risk and the return. J.Q. Publique risked some capital, even if he didn't control the bets being made with his money, and so he has to suck up his share of the losses.
Those who made the bets should rightly lose everything–yes, be wiped out.
If risk and return are actually causally linked, then this is the only result of a big bet that sours: those who placed the bets should be wiped out. That includes money managers, bank honchos, bond-fund gurus, and everyone else who foolishly bought all this debt without investigating the risks.
Investors in banks made their investment to reap a return; as a result, they are exposed to the other side of return which is risk. They should be wiped out as well.
Who should not suck a loss are those who did not stand to gain: the taxpayers and holders of the currency.
To repeat: the most basic fact about all this uncollectible, impaired, bad debt is that every euro of debt is somebody else's asset. Wipe out the debt and you wipe out the asset.
There is no way to avoid the 3 trillion in losses. the only question is who should absorb those losses: those who stood to gain, or the innocent chumps whose only crime was being a taxpayer or owner of euros?
If there is any justice (or classical Capitalism) at all in Euroland, then those who made the bets and invested capital in the bets to reap a return are the ones who should absorb the losses.
Life will go on if the banks are wiped out and closed, pension funds and insurance companies take losses, etc.
In fact, as I noted in The Collapse of Our Corrupt, Predatory, Pathological Financial System Is Necessary and Positive (November 5, 2011), the collapse of the predatory institutions which made all those bets would be a quantum leap forward not just in terms of justice but in the economic recovery everyone pines for.
Ideally, the dominoes will cross the Atlantic and take down the parasitic "too big to fail" banks and Wall Street leeches in the U.S. After all, they too made bets on euro-debt and they should absorb the losses.
If those who made the bets for their own private gain aren't forced to absorb the risk, then we don't live in either capitalism or democracy; we live in a financial-fascist tyranny.

It's not quite zucchini season yet. And what I mean by "zucchini season" is the point where you are hurling large zucchini out your car at passers by. Anything to get rid of the things.
If you really want to get rid of your zucchini this year though, what you can do is make these muffins. Then give these out. If someone has one of these bad boys, they'll be chasing you down the street – begging for more.
I decided to not plant zucchini this year in my garden because I figure I can trade for whatever zucchini I need. And I'll need some to make more of these as soon as possible.
Zucchini Walnut Muffins
- 2 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 Cup ground flax seed (optional, but if you skip it increase flour to 3 cups)
- 1 Cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/4 Cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Teaspoons vanilla
- 2 Teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 2 Teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 Teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 Cup Walnuts
- 2 small zucchini (or 1 large), shredded. Should be about 3 cups.
1) Melt butter and add to a bowl along with brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg. Stir until combined well.
2) Add flour, baking soda and flax to the batter and stir until mixed well. Try not to over-mix the batter though.
3) Fold in shredded zucchini and walnuts.
4) Butter (or spray with nonstick spray) muffin tins.
5) Fill tins to the top with batter.
6) Bake muffins at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until they are lightly browned and a tester comes out clean.
7) Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Making the Batter
This is a pretty straightforward muffin batter to make. I'll cite the obvious that this recipe has two whole sticks of butter in it. I think you could get away with a stick and a half if you want, but I don't really recommend it. They are perfect just like this.
Start by melting the butter and letting it cool slightly. Then add it to a large bowl along with the sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg. Stir this all together until the sugar is well-dissolved.
Then stir in your eggs, one at a time.
Then add your flax (if you're using it) and flour and baking soda and stir to combine. Try not to over-mix it. Keep it nice and light.
Once your base batter is ready, stir in all of your shredded zucchini. It'll look like a lot, but it works.
Then fold in your walnuts and your batter is ready for baking!
Baking the muffins
To prepare your muffin tins, spray them with a bit of nonstick spray or give them a very light coating of butter. I'll give you two guesses for what I did. The first one doesn't count.
When you fill your muffin cups for these guys, you can fill them completely up. They won't rise as much as some muffins because of all the add-ins.
Note: If you end up with an odd number of muffins, be sure to fill any empty muffin tins with water before baking.
Bake these guys at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes until they are nicely browned on top. A testing skewer should come out clean.
Let them cool for a few minutes and then either serve them warm or let them cool completely. If you have some wire racks, they work best for cooling.
You do have to be careful with these muffins though.
You might get sued for serving people something that sounds healthy (zucchini, walnuts, flax) in what is essentially a delivery system for butter and brown sugar.

Leah Oh my word! I hope this recipe works with frozen zukes, because I have to make them. Now.
Rachel these are in my oven right now! can't wait to devour :)
My recent post painting class! -
Janette Can't wait to try the recipe, but may I ask, why must you fill the empty cups with water?
Nick Well, the story goes that it helps regulate the temp in the pan so the muffins don't cook too fast. I'm actually not positive that it does anything though but I've never tried it without filling them. Could be an old wive's tale. :)

Facebook reminded developers about its latest ad policy change and introduced new features related to gating age-sensitive content in apps and controlling alerts from the social network, according to the company's developer blog.
Ad Image Policy – Last week Facebook implemented a new ad policy that limits text overlay to 20 percent of an image's area for all ads in News Feed. This includes mobile app install ads, which developers use to drive downloads. Previously, Facebook restricted the use of "calls to action" and "price and purchase information" in photos because it wanted to prevent advertisers from sharing images that looked like traditional banner ads. The policy was vague and not always followed or enforced. We've heard Facebook is developing a grid-based text overlay detection tool to identify non-compliant images.
Age Requirements – Facebook announced a new way for mobile and web developers to restrict content to users over a certain age. Developers can now use the age_range field to gate sensitive content within mobile apps and websites. Apps on Facebook.com have had this option, but it wasn't previously available via the Graph API. Some websites and mobile apps tried requesting users' birthdays in order to verify their age, but requesting this permission can hurt install rates. Now, any app can use the age_range field instead.
Developer Alerts – Facebook has improved its "developer contact settings" section so that developers can configure their alerts. In November 2012, the social network announced Developer Alerts as a way to notify developers about important changes to the platform and the status of their apps via email and Facebook notifications. Now, developers can decide which types of alerts Facebook can send and through which channels so they are not overloaded with messages.

'Tunnel' links New York to London

The linked BBC News article is on an art installation, essentially a
webcam linking New York and London. What I find fascinating is the
reaction from people
"...and for a moment, two groups of strangers, in two cities thousands
of miles apart, jump up and down and smile at one another."
It took an artist to see that people didnt need a stadium sized
screen, High def, rss feeds, surround sound and a plethora of other
'features' to engage users. Just a webcam, no audio & a whiteboard.
Its simple, un-intimidating yet intriguing.

How to use mass transfer correlations for concentrated binary solutions
Frank, M.J.W. and Kuipers, J.A.M. and Swaaij, W.P.M. van (2000) How to use mass transfer correlations for concentrated binary solutions. Chemical Engineering Science, 55 (18). pp. 3739-3742. ISSN 0009-2509
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 111kB |
Abstract: | The film model and penetration model predict different influences of binary interactions and thermodynamic non-idealities on gas–liquid mass transfer. Therefore, in case of concentrated systems, as often encountered in extraction and distillation processes, errors are made when the film model is used instead of the more appropriate penetration model. In this paper it is shown, for binary systems, that these errors can be reduced significantly, when the available mass transfer correlations are used to calculate the effective mass transfer coefficient from the effective diffusion coefficient instead of calculating the Maxwell–Stefan mass transfer coefficient from the Maxwell–Stefan diffusion coefficient. This is in contradiction with what is recommended in open literature. |
